Co-organised by the Alumni Affairs Office and the Federation of PolyU Alumni Associations (FHKPUAA), the lunchtime talk “AI for Smarter Everyday Living” was held in a hybrid mode on 3 June 2026. More than 210 alumni, current staff, and former staff spent a meaningful lunch hour exploring how AI can support health, travel, and personal growth.
The guest speaker, Mr Edward Lau, Chairman of the Innovation & Transformation Committee of the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Industries Association, shared his insights on the impact of AI and its implications for the future. Through a vivid introduction to practical AI tools and real-life examples, his presentation offered participants fresh perspectives and inspired them to think more deeply about how AI can be applied in daily life. He illustrated how AI can be used to track calorie intake and assist with diet management, as well as how prompts can generate professional travel itineraries, including tailored schedules and dining options for travellers of different age groups. These examples helped participants better understand the value of AI in organising information and supporting informed decision-making.
The 60 participants who attended in person responded enthusiastically, taking the opportunity to engage with the speaker and ask further questions after the talk. Dr Darron Sun, President of FHKPUAA, also attended the event, and joined Ms Yvonne Li, Director of Alumni Affairs, in presenting souvenirs to Mr Lau in appreciation of his insightful and practical sharing.
More alumni activities are on the way, so please stay tuned for future updates.
